married daughter

Chapter 194 My people, who will I protect if I don't protect them?
Ruan Yunting was so polite, Qiu Shi and Dai Siyuan looked at each other, their smiles became more and more satisfied.

Taking out the gold hairpin from the box and putting it on Ruan Yunting's bun, Qiu said with a smile: "I discussed with the master, this gold hairpin should be given to you. You don't know Brother Ming's temper, he He's just a stubborn donkey!" Pulling Ruan Yunting to sit next to him, he glared at the flushed Dai Ming, "Look at him, he's elegant and gentle, but he's actually more stubborn than anyone else. It's been two years. I was thinking about making an engagement for him, but he doesn't like many girls, he thinks they are 'vulgar fans', and thinks that those girls have good looks and their heads are full of idiots."

Qiu shook his head helplessly: "Every time, his father and I took turns persuading him, but in the end, he persuaded us instead. We prepared a lot to say goodbye, and every time we couldn't convince him, I saw it through. If you want to be reasonable, no one can explain Brother Ming. But this time, he chose you by himself." Qiu Shi smiled and took Ruan Yunting's hand, "Knowledge son is like mother, he has that temperament, unless the future emperor Give me a marriage, otherwise, you might be the only young mistress in our house. When you have a son and a half, I will talk to the Empress Dowager and make an exception to make you Ming Geer's official wife."

Ruan Yunting shook her head: "Ma'am, this doesn't make sense."

"What are you afraid of? Brother Ming said that rules are for people to break." Chou stood up, took Ruan Yunting's hand and walked to the side hall, "If Brother Ming bullies you, come and tell me, see I broke his hand so he couldn't hold the pen!"

"My son doesn't dare." Deming hurriedly expressed his opinion first.

Ruan Yunting couldn't help but feel hot when she heard this.Didn't Deming say indirectly that he would be good to her?In fact, if she can fall in love with Dai Ming, the environment of the Dai family is more suitable for her.At least now it seems that the environment is relatively simple, and Deming's parents are also kind.

The dinner was very satisfying. Although Dai's family is a big family, they didn't abide by the rules of never saying anything during the dinner. Dai Xuefei and the Qiu family served Ruan Yunting dishes while talking about Dai Ming's usual embarrassing things. Dai Siyuan protested appropriately, but the protest was always ineffective, losing to the mother and daughter who love to expose people's faults.Ruan Yunting also knew a lot about Deming.

For example, his favorite fruit is oranges, his favorite tea is Yangtian Luxue, and he likes lotus flowers the most. At home, he always locks himself in the study with his hair disheveled. Night, almost drunk...

Ruan Yunting kept these things in mind one by one. If she really wanted to marry Deming in the future, these would be the materials she must use to control her husband in the future.

By the time dinner was finished, it was already three quarters unitary.Together, Qiu and Dai Siyuan sent Ruan Yunting to the gate of the mansion.He specially ordered Dai Ming to send Ruan Yunting back to Xu's house.

On the return trip, Ruan Yunting and Dai Ming took a carriage together, the Xu family's carriage followed closely behind, and Funing and the little girl who followed Ruan Yunting's carriage were talking and laughing in a low voice.Ruan Yunting and Dai Ming sat in the carriage, not knowing what to say.

Even if there is a marriage contract, the two have just met.Dai Ming didn't take the initiative to talk too much, and Ruan Yunting wouldn't open his mouth either.

Seeing that the carriage arrived at Fugui Street and saw the three memorial archways of the Xu family, Dai Ming said, "I don't know if it is appropriate to visit Mrs. Xu at this hour."

Ruan Yunting was stunned for a moment, and said: "The old lady is still awake at the moment, so I guess she will play cards with the first wife and the second wife."

"Originally, I should have come to see Mrs. Xu when we got engaged. I'm afraid it would be impolite if I don't come in today. I have to go to school during the day and supervise the compilation of "Wen Fu Dian". I'm very busy. Why don't I go today?" Meet your family."

"Alright."

Ruan Yunting only thought of Dai Ming because she was afraid of being rude.Nodding with a smile, he looked out the window.

Deming is not just for etiquette.He has investigated Ruan Yunting's life experience, knows her situation in Xu's family, and also knows her various difficulties. Those snobs who always like dogs to look down on others can treat her with a little more respect, and it will make her life easier.

Now that she is engaged to be married, she is his own, his own, and if he doesn't protect her, why should he wait for others?

"Ting'er."

"Huh?" Ruan Yunting turned her head to look at him, the gilt hairpin on her hair reflected the candlelight, shining brightly.

Deming looked at her questioning face and shook his head, "It's nothing. I don't bring any presents, so I won't be rude, right?"

"No." Ruan Yunting grinned.

"That's good."

Dai Ming also laughed, and his brows that were used to frowning were slightly relaxed. Since she was determined to be her, he should take her under his wings and protect her. This is what a man should do.

When the news of Dai Ming's visit reached Pine Age Hall, the old lady was playing cards with the second wife, second grandmother and Xu Ningqiao.After hearing the letter, several people were surprised.The old lady laughed and said, "Ting'er's fiancé-in-law is very aware of etiquette."

"Yes, old ancestor, my daughter-in-law, please order someone to invite the third master and the second master together." The eldest lady stood up, and the second master Xu Chengxuan was appointed as the right admonishing doctor, the fifth rank official, and the secretary of the third master. From the fifth rank, it is not as high as Deming's official position.

"Alright, let them come over. We are all a family, and we should see each other."

"Yes."

Ruan Yunting didn't know that people would arrive in such a complete set. When Dai Ming and Dai Ming stepped into the main room of Pine Age Hall, the old lady, eldest lady, second wife, third master, third wife, second master and second wife, and everyone from the third room The girls and the boys are all here.

Obviously, some of these people had never met Deming and wanted to meet them to satisfy their curiosity.

When Dai Ming saw the room full of people, he first gave the old lady a big gift for the younger generation to meet the elders, saying, "Today, I came here abruptly to meet the ancestors and the elders." Then he exchanged colleagues with the second and third masters present.

Ruan Yunting stood on the side of the girl in the third room, receiving all kinds of looks.Some are envious, some are jealous, some are blessings, the most venomous one is Xu Ningxia's, the fierce and resentful eyes almost poke a hole in her body.

The old lady was overjoyed, pulled Dai Ming and praised: "Master Dai is really a good-looking talent, with outstanding demeanor. It is her blessing that Ting'er is following you."

"The old ancestor is too famous." Dai Ming said with a smile: "Ting'er has wronged her by following me. Today, my mother just passed on the gold hairpin that was passed to the eldest daughter-in-law to her."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone looked at Ruan Yunting in amazement. Seeing the unfamiliar golden hairpin on her head, the old lady smiled gratifiedly.Ruan Yunlan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Ningxia was originally holding back her stomach full of anger, but at this moment she finally couldn't help but snorted coldly, "It's just a concubine's room, and she deserves it."

De Ming frowned, and looked at the old lady questioningly.

The third wife reprimanded in a low voice: "Talk nonsense, don't stop talking."

"I didn't say anything wrong! I don't like her being a sweetheart the most. Food and use belong to our family. She takes all the good things. Don't forget that she is..."

"Shut up!" The third master slapped the table majestically, only staring at the third wife: "Take the rebellious girl away yet! You are not allowed to go out for half a month, so as not to embarrass yourself!"

The third wife also knew that Xu Ningxia had gone too far.But in front of outsiders, how could she swallow this breath.She stood up and was about to refute, but found that the old lady, the first lady and the second wife had bad eyesight, and she relied on her status as the imperial wife, and she didn't want to lose face in front of the younger generation, so she had to vent her anger on Xu Ningxia, pushing and reprimanding her, Take eight girls away.

The hall finally became quiet, and Dai Ming said worriedly: "Old Ancestor, I don't know which daughter of the family is that girl just now? She and Ting'er seem to have a deep grudge."

"That's the Eighth Sister," the old lady couldn't hold back her face, she had to laugh along with her, and said, "She's just being aggressive, but she doesn't have any evil intentions, and she made Mrs. Dai laugh at her."

Dai Ming made a gesture of relief, and said with a smile: "With the old ancestor here, I don't think anyone will bully Ting'er. The old ancestor took a bite of Mrs. Dai, but I was discouraged. My parents called me at home. Brother Ming, if the ancestor doesn't dislike it, just call me like that."

"Okay, okay." The old lady smiled very satisfied. What Dai Ming did was obviously to protect Ruan Yunting.Just after getting engaged, she has already taken her under his wing, so she can rest assured.

"Brother Ming, I see you are kind, and you are also kind when you call me. There is also a brother Ming in my house." The old lady waved at Xu Chengming as she spoke.

Xu Chengming stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Old ancestor."

"Look." The old lady introduced Dai Ming: "He is the fourth eldest, named Xu Chengming, Tinger's fourth cousin."

Dai Ming stood up, saluted with Xu Chengming, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Brother Chengming and I have met in the academy a few times. Different characters with the same pronunciation, it can be seen that they are quite predestined."

"Yes." Xu Chengming also returned the salute.Also in the university department, because his father's official position is not high, he can't get in touch with some people in the upper class.I got to know Dai Ming today. In the future, I will expand my network and open up a new situation. Xu Chengming is very happy, "I hope Brother Dai can give me more advice in the future."

"Brother Chengming, you are being polite."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Dai Ming chatted with the old lady again.Deming didn't talk much, but he often hit the point in a sentence, or made a witty remark that made the old lady laugh.

Ruan Yunting watched from the side, and was also very impressed with Dai Ming. The young man who is not yet full is so experienced in dealing with things. It can be seen that he has been tempered deeply by entering the officialdom early.Xu Chengming, who usually felt stable, stepped down a step in front of him. No wonder the old lady was anxious to let the two of them get to know each other.

Most importantly, Ruan Yunting could see that Dai Ming said he was here to visit the old lady, but he really came to support her. In his words, he was considerate and protective of her, as if anyone who dared to touch her would just follow her. He has a posture that Deming can't pass.Seeing the old lady's gratified smile, Ruan Yunting knew that Dai Ming's evaluation was much higher in the old lady's heart.

I'm afraid everyone in the Xu family will feel that being a concubine for Dai Ming is also a happy thing, right?
